When Medicine Went Mad: Bioethics and the Holocaust: Contemporary Issues in Biomedicine, Ethics, and Society

Arthur L. Caplan

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 sep 2012

In When Medicine Went Mad, one of the nation's leading bioethicists-and an extraordinary panel of experts and concentration camp survivors-examine problems first raised by Nazi medical experimentation that remain difficult and relevant even today. The importance of these issues to contemporary bioethical disputes-particularly in the thorny areas of medical genetics, human experimentation, and euthanasia-are explored in detail and with sensitivity.
